Spring Challenge: Buy Your Easter Eggs!

Hello Lovelies! For today on The Purple Crumpet Fairy Challenge, my task was to paint Your Easter Eggs! So, I got a little creative with the theme and I opted to make each of my fingernails represent an egg. I painted them white with Essie blanc and covered them with a dash of Seche Vite to seal the color.

Then...things got CRAZY!! I started the egg dying process by watercoloring each nail a different Spring color. For a step by step of how I do this, visit my Watercolor Wash Too post. I changed colors for every finger, giving the nails a skittlish watercolored egg effect. I LOVE the end result and I am thoroughly enjoying wearing my Easter Egg-o-cure. It's so unique and fun!

For the watercolor wash, I used China Glaze Dance Baby (pointer), Gothic Lolita (middle), Bahamian Escape (ring), and Ga Ga for Green (pinky). I added the green rhinestone for a bit of flair. ^.^

Here's my Easter Eggs:

About Me

Welcome to my blog! I'm Rychelle, an art teacher with an obsession for nail polish. I think the beauty and uniqueness of handmade, indie polish will forever hold a place in my heart. When I began this journey years ago, I had no idea that nail polish would become an important part of my life. While life has thrown me a few curve balls, one thing has remained constant; the joy I feel when my nails are painted. I will always get a rush when I open nail mail and a huge burst of pride when asked to swatch, but at the heart of it all, I'm just a girl in love with beautiful nail polish. ❤️
